The day celebrates the commitment and dedication of the more than 100,000 peacekeepers from over 120 countries who serve in UN missions around the world. This day was first established by the UN General Assembly in 2002 to coincide with the anniversary of the creation of the first UN peacekeeping mission in 1948.
